Example Sentences

"One of the reasons for the decline of the peasants’ income from subsidiary occupations in 1955 was the low purchasing prices offered by the state for many agricultural side-products. For example, the price set for dried sunflower in Fengchieh county, Szechuan province (in 1955) was 5 yuan per 110 lbs., which was only one-third the pre-war price. As a result there was a decline of 60 per cent in the total value of sunflowers sold by the peasants in 1955 as against 1954.¹⁵⁵"
